Hiking

A rocky ledge that's still manageable at first, but with plenty of airy edges. Then the ledge begins to narrow, requiring surefootedness and climbing skills, as there are no steel cables, clamps, or other means of securing the area. Small climbing sections requiring climbing up and down are not uncommon. In many places, there are steep descents of several meters. Not a beginner's hike! Really, only for climbers!
